NightHawk268 has scammed me and I am sending a letter to him refering to the scam. I sent him my working impy and he sent me a broken angie that needs lots of work into it. I was aware that i needed to buy a charger but he did not tell me it needed a new battery. He said he was going to send me money for the battery and he said he did and it never happened. I found out the intelliframe is totaled and the wiring is messed with. The board also has a chance of being fried. I am ready to press charges on him and i still (obviously)have his address since July. For you that already knew about the past confrontation this is where it all ends up.

I dont think you can press charges. Usually they expect you to inspect what you trade for. Hopefully you can work it out. The wiring can be fixed tho cant it? and other than that u just need a battery and charger?

it needs a whole new intelli feed and may need a new board along with all the other stuff. I sent the letter out today. He only toldme the gun needed a charger thats it. I couldnt even use the gun once because when i got it it wouldnt turn on nor charge(used my friends charger)so then i needed a new battery and he said he was going to send me money to get it fixed never came. etc etc pressing charges

You can press charges for him mis-informing you about the item.

Where does he live? call the cops of his local area to spec it out or something, how old is the kid/guy? go hunt him down or something

but yea, i'd be pissed, get the things fixed, have it all done by a store, then keep the recipt and all that ****, then get in contact w/ law officals and fax them the reciept and have them make him pay you for the damages or something.

Hold Dat.

And angles are simple to fix. With a soldering iron and some patience you can fix it for free most likely.

Good luck though.

Unfortunately you are correct, and you are incorrect. You can file fraud charges on the person in criminal court. To recover the costs of the repairs you would have to file a civil action.

Eitehr way, have an estimate done of the repairs. Then call this dude's parents and tell them to fix it or you will take them to small claims court.

Of course if you live in a different city it is a real pain in the butt.

He sent me a letter today and it was his father. He stated that they got the gun fixed with a new batery and new wiring before sent and he stated that he would not put anymore money into the gun so he told his son to sell it as is. They only told me that the PIN number needed to be changed thats it. I have pictures of the intelli feed and of the trigger frame

Sounds like the only reconciliation is to take them to small claims court for the cost of the repairs. You will only win if you have proof of what the seller claimed was the condition of the marker at the time of sale and then you have to prove that what you actually got was indeed not what was claimed to be.

Its an uphill battle, and the burden of proof is on you, not the seller.

Before you take the high road, you may want to see what the cost of actuall repairs are and if it ain't much, then eat the repairs and live and learn.

I feel for you brother. It is a shame that no-one is taking you seriously.
